Insights into acute mesenteric ischaemia: an up-to-date, evidence-based review from a mesenteric stroke centre unit
Br J Radiol. 2023 Jul 26:20230232. doi: 10.1259/bjr.20230232. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRadiologists play a central role in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI). Unfortunately, more than half of AMI patients undergo imaging with no prior suspicion of AMI, making identifying this disease even more difficult. A confirmed diagnosis of AMI is ideally made with dynamic contrast-enhanced CT but the diagnosis may be made on portal-venous phase images in appropriate clinical settings. AMI is diagnosed on CT based on the identification of vascular impairment and bowel ischae...

A Case of Acute Cerebral Infarction With Chief Complaints of Abdominal Pain and Bloody Diarrhoea: The Power of a Patient-Centered Inclusive Diagnostic Team
We present the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and bloody stool as his chief complaints and was finally diagnosed with ischemic colitis from colon cancer and acute cerebral infarction. Although several cognitive biases led to physicians missing the presence of acute stroke, a diagnostic team consisting of the patient, his family members, a ward nurse, and the physician worked effectively to reach the correct diagnosis soon after admission. A physician is not the only person involved in the diagnostic process. A patient-centered diagnostic team is necessary.PMID:36046325 | PMC:PMC9418667 | ...

Nut and legume consumption and human health: an umbrella review of observational studies.
Authors: Martini D, Godos J, Marventano S, Tieri M, Ghelfi F, Titta L, Lafranconi A, Trigueiro H, Gambera A, Alonzo E, Sciacca S, Buscemi S, Ray S, Galvano F, Del Rio D, Grosso G Abstract Consumption of nuts and legumes has been associated with several health benefits. The aim of this study was to systematically review existing meta-analyses of observational studies on nut and legume intake and non-communicable diseases, and assess the level of evidence. Out of the six meta-analyses focussed on legume and 15 on nut intake, a possible association with decreased risk of colorectal adenoma and coronary heart disease w...

How does occupational physical activity influence health? An umbrella review of 23 health outcomes across 158 observational studies.
CONCLUSIONS: We found favourable associations for most health-related outcomes with high OPA levels, but we also found some evidence for unfavourable associations due to high OPA levels. At this point, there is a need for better quality evidence to provide a unequivocal statement on the health effects of OPA. PMID: 33239353 [PubMed - in process]

An Autopsy Case of Lambl's Excrescences with Trousseau Syndrome that Caused Cardioembolic Stroke.
Authors: Hirayama T, Morioka H, Fujiwara H, Iwamoto K, Kiyozuka T, Takeo H, Ikeda K, Kano O Abstract The frequency and risk of embolism by Lambl's excrescences (LEs) remain unclear. We herein report an autopsy case of LEs that caused cardioembolic stroke. A 74-year-old man with colon cancer was hospitalized for ischemic stroke. His D-dimer levels were elevated. Thus, a diagnosis of ischemic stroke with Trousseau syndrome was made. At the autopsy, we found LEs in the aortic valves and thromboembolism of the brain blood vessels. This finding demonstrated that fibrin clots had adhered to the LEs because of coagulation...

NAMPT as a Dedifferentiation-Inducer Gene: NAD+ as Core Axis for Glioma Cancer Stem-Like Cells Maintenance
Conclusion and Perspectives Gliomas are the most prevalent primary brain cancer in adults and include a broad category of tumors including astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and GBM. Regardless of tumor aggressiveness, malignancy, and infiltration, these glia-derived tumors rarely exceed a median survival time of 12–14 months. Driven by the infiltrative nature of these tumors, the clinical approach is difficult and relapses often occur with fatal consequences. These unsuccessful attempts to control glioma's fate have fostered research looking for more effective therapies. (GSCs) are a small subset of CD133&#...

Orally Administered Crocin Protects Against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through the Metabolic Transformation of Crocetin by Gut Microbiota
Conclusion Collectively, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic association studies provide evidence that the gut microbiota plays a vital role in the fate of crocin and crocetin in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the cross-interaction between gut microbiota and crocin might mediate the activation of the cerebral-protective effect of orally administered crocin. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of ‘Institutional Animal Research Committee guidelines, Animal Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University.’ The protocol was approved by the ‘An...

Plant-Derived Alkaloids: The Promising Disease-Modifying Agents for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conclusion This paper summarizes the current findings regarding the anti-colitis activity of plant-derived alkaloids and shows how these alkaloids exhibit significant and beneficial effects in alleviating colonic inflammation. These natural alkaloids are not only promising agents for IBD treatment but are also components for developing new wonder drugs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms or toxicological evaluation of most plant-derived alkaloids still require much scientific research, and their actual efficacies for IBD patients have not been verified well in field research. Thus, further clinical trials to elu...

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 462: Health Benefits of Physical Activity Related to An Urban Riverside Regeneration
This study aimed to quantify health and health-related economic impacts associated with physical activity in an urban riverside park regeneration project in Barcelona, Spain. We used data from Barcelona local authorities and meta-analysis assessing physical activity and health outcomes to develop and apply the “Blue Active Tool”. We estimated park user health impacts in terms of all-cause mortality, morbidity (ischemic heart disease; ischemic stroke; type 2 diabetes; cancers of the colon and breast; and dementia), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and health-related economic impacts. We est...
